New Kind of Student

After reading a bit of text out of Haskell's book Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse or Your First Year of Teaching a theme that really stood out to me was that students are ever changing as time progresses. My generation of students are different then any prior and will be evolving to expect more and more out of school environments as they change and grow with us. Well, that is what we hope they will do anyways.
As a future teacher, it is my job to think critically about how I can create a classroom that will give students opportunities to be inspired to find their passions. In an era where information is readily accessible to students, it is now most important for schools to provide for the motivation to take in content and turn into something useful in their lives. Students should have the option to do things that are important to them. Schools are the best place for this to happen.
